God, to me, defies definition, but that doesn't stop most of us from trying. That God, I call the "anthropomorphic" God--a God we humans can understand--but it's a stand-in for the real thing.
I for one do hope then that, as was the impression I got from your OP, you are going to tell us more about, and what is, the 'real thing', or what you imagine it to be.
